Mr. Durbin asked for clarification about the loan closing being shown in 2004
with loan closing costs being shown in 2003. Alan ifJhite explained that clasing
costs were due and paid at the time of closing with the developer in 2003.
Mr. Durbin asked why estimated professional services are not shown in 2003.
Alan White explained that up until the end of November all of those costs were
being paid out of the Town Center Fund. Beginning December 1, any legal
expenses for Walgreens will be taken out of the Walgreens project fund. Jim
Windholz stated that prior to the acquisition process, legal expenses were for
contract preparation. Upon acquisition, expenses for acquisition process will be
taken from the Walgreens fund.
In response to a question from Mr. Durbin, Alan White explained that any
modifications to the streetscape will be the financial responsibility of the
Walgreens developer.
There were no other individuals present who wished to address the budget.
Alan White commented that there would probably be some additional expenses
for acquisition and relocation in 2003 and, therefore, legal and professional
services should probably not show zero. Jim Windholz stated that legal and
professional services would occur before the end of the year for acquisition and
relocation and suggested budgeting $10,000 in 2003.
It was moved by Norm Burkpile and seconded by Janet Leo to adopt

RE: Contribution to CCRA
DATE: January 8, 2004
As you may know, urban renewal and the use of eminent domain has been a hot topic in
the media and is going to receive attention by the I.egislature this session. In order to
prepare for arguments against changing the urban renewal law, or at least minimizing the
extent of any changes, the Colorado Community Revitalization Association (CCRA) is
hiring a consultant to prepare analyses of the beneficial public impacts of using
condemnation for urban renewal projects, i.e., increased revenue, increased propeRy
values, clean up of distressed areas, etc.
WRURA is a member of CCRA which is basically funded with minimal annual dues.
For this study, CCRA wants to hire a consultant and is asking for donations from urban
renewal authorities to fund the study.
Eliminating or diminishing the powers of urban renewal authorities is an important issue
that I believe we should be very concerned about. This study will help us educate the
legislature about the positive aspects of urban renewal.
I am requesting authorization to contribute $500 from WRURA to this study.
